Extremely Small, High Performance Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Payloads for Expendable Undersea Platforms Navy SBIR FY2016.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2016.1 Topic No.: N161-039 Topic Title: Extremely Small, High Performance Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Payloads for Expendable Undersea Platforms Proposal No.: N161-039-0073 Firm: Azure Summit Technology, Inc. 3050 Chain Bridge Road, Suite 600 Fairfax, Virginia 22030 Contact: William Pearson Phone: (571) 308-1418 Web Site: http://www.azuresummit.com Abstract: We will show how smaller SWaP variants of our Switchblade Digital Tuner architecture can be developed and fielded within the specified SWaP constraints. This miniaturization of the Switchblade processing board to a smaller but as capable processing capability is possible due to leaps in FPGA and 3D integrated circuit technology. More importantly, the processor boards that will be discussed in more detail in this proposal have the same software APIs as existing Switchblade tuners, allowing for software application re-use. The proposed 1U (module sized) and 3U processing boards will accept the family of existing and planned Switchblade digital tuner modules due to physical and electrical commonality. Specifically, the two-channel 80MHz instantaneous bandwidth 1.5MHz to 6GHz tuner module, the single channel 500MHz instantaneous bandwidth 100MHz to 6GHz tuner module and the single channel 500MHz instantaneous bandwidth 18GHz frequency range extended tuner module. All of these digital tuner modules were developed or are being developed under various SBIR efforts. Benefits: This effort capitalizes on millions of dollars of previous government and private investment to enable a family of modular tuners and processing boards all interchangeable from module sized (1.6" x 4.85"), to 3U and 6U VPX all with shared and interchangeable front ends. This provides unprecedented re-use of various capabilities and configurability for the primary customer the Navy, but also the Army, DHS and law enforcement and a host of platforms from manned aircraft to small UAVs and undersea vehicles.
